    OT: Your best celebrity encounters?

    Strange layout on that block. Odd place for a home like his.

    OT: Your best celebrity encounters?

    Larry Holmes lives a few blocks from me. Super nice guy. Don’t see him very often any more. Bumped into Mario Andretti at the Verizon store at the mall. He was not pleasant. Saw Sandy Koufax at the grocery store a couple years ago. Apparently lives in Bethlehem in the summer. A friend of...

    This really is a great song

    I have always liked DuranDuran, probably because my HS girlfriend liked them. Seen them a couple times, most recently Halloween 2024. Good show. To this day, I despise The Reflex though. Phil Collins/Genesis is that group for me. Just grew tired of Phil’s voice. Now I listen to it a lot.

    This really is a great song

    This is a good thread. As a child of the MTV era, I really despised the songs in continual rotation. I have a new appreciation for many of them today.

    Now the Kids are about out of the house? Thinkng of moving to Center City, Phila? Anybody live there?

    Not a ship. It was a pier. Cargo ships would dock and unload there. I’ll see if I can link it.

    Had a boss years ago that lived in one of condos that had been converted from an old shipping pier between the Ben Franklin bridge and Penn’s Landing. What an incredible place to live. Always enjoyed visiting him there.

    Different circumstances entirely. And, I’m not a Joebot.

    BGJ sweatshirt

    I classify the sweatshirt slogan as unnecessary. Kind of like the dominate the state line or great to elite or reacting to the fan in the stands or any subtle jabs at Pitt early on. The more these seemingly minor incidents popped up, the less likable he became.

    Who has the best HC in college football?

    First time I looked at the actual schedule, though I knew which teams were scheduled to play. So much for starting the BIG season at home. We’ve been awarded 3 in a row on the road to start conference play! SMH.

    Why can’t we win the BIG next year?

    Lost in this discussion is that in order to actually win the BIG, we have to win the BIG Champ game, probably against one of those teams we were lucky to avoid on the regular schedule.

    FC/OT: Matt Campbell PSU Signature Collection.

    Definitely had a commercial for the Yellow Pages. There was one shot in Baby’s too. Can’t remember what that was for.

    FC/OT: Matt Campbell PSU Signature Collection.

    First, I love Penn State. Even in 1987, I wouldn’t wear clothes with the coach’s signature emblazoned across the front. Not my style.

    James Franklin Throws Penn State Under the Bus for Not Caring About Players

    You could see signs of this trait early on from his apparent bitterness toward Maryland, his petty inferences about Pitt, his biting back at fans on two separate occasions. Just let it go, man.
